In Japan, a TV interview with sumo wrestler Yasuo Nishikigi (ring name Aonishiki), 24, from Nishonoseki stable, exploded online after his hilariously casual dinner answer.
When the reporter asked, “What are you planning to eat tonight?” he paused, then replied deadpan: “First, I’ll eat ramen… and then think about it.”
Viewers burst into laughter at the idea of a full bowl of ramen as just a warm-up for a sumo-sized appetite. The clip racked up millions of views, with fans praising his relatable, no-nonsense vibe.
At 1.85 m and 150 kg, Nishikigi needs around 10,000 calories daily—ramen is barely an appetizer before chanko nabe, rice, and meat. His simple honesty perfectly captured the gentle giant charm of sumo culture.
The moment became instant meme gold: “Ramen is just the opening act” trended nationwide.
Under winter skies, Nishikigi reminded Japan why sumo wrestlers are national treasures—strong, humble, and always ready for seconds.
